Chapter 59: Top Auction
readx;
Qin Xiao was leaning in a hidden corner at the back at the moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he stretched out comfortably, half-squinting and closing his eyes to recuperate. However, everyone who came in at the door, Qin Xiao looked at it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
The person he was waiting for hadn't come yet.
A good-looking little girl brought melon seeds and snacks for Qin Xiao, and rushed over from time to time to refill the tea.
Qin Xiao smiled kindly at the little girl and continued to glance behind the door.
Half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
An hour and a half passed.
......
The hall was almost full, but the person Qin Xiao was waiting for still hadn't arrived.
The huge hall can accommodate four or five hundred people. At this time, the hall was almost full. Today's listening auction is about to begin. But......
Don't...... This guy isn't coming tonight?
Shouldn't it be? Today, Tingxiang Xiaoxie's biggest top brand Yun Meijun appeared!
Those who are familiar with Tingxiang Xiaoxie know that Tingxiang Xiaoxie appears every day with a top brand and sings songs in the hall. If someone wants to play the song alone, you can choose a private room. However, the top brand never sings for the private room. The girls who went to the private room were all girls who had not yet become corners.
Tingxiang Xiaoxie has a total of more than 30 cards. The crowd took turns. But this does not include Yun Meijun. Yun Meijun normally appears once a month. If it weren't for the day Yun Meijun appeared, it would be the Heavenly King Lao Tzu who came, and he couldn't get Yun Meijun by name. If you want to persevere, you will not be happy. If you don't know the rules, it may be a disaster!
Hey?
Suddenly, a clear-looking old man beside Qin Xiao took a closer look at Qin Xiao, and as if he couldn't believe it, he looked at it again. Whispered with some confusion: "Gongzi Qin?"
Qin Xiao looked at it with a crooked face, but he didn't know it. Seeing that the old man had no malice, he nodded politely and said, "Exactly." Haven't asked your Excellency yet?"
The old man smiled and said, "The old man grimaces." The profession is a scholar. There is a stall at the front door of Dongzhi Gate. Qin Gongzi has time to pass, and the old man meets Qin Gongzi for free. ”
Xiangshi?
Qin Xiao's eyes couldn't help but widen. Is this old man a scholar? Or is he a stall that I've never heard of?
How much money can you put in a day?
Do you know the level of consumption here?
I'm afraid I can't come once or twice a year, right?
"Huh...... There is Mr. Grimace of Law. Qin Xiao politely thanked the old man.
"Where did Qin Gongzi speak. Being able to meet for Gongzi Qin is a blessing for the old man. ”
The grimace saw Qin Xiao's doubts, and smiled innocently, "The old man is just like this." Not afraid of Qin Gongzi's jokes, since the old man heard Yun Meijun's song three years ago, he is no longer interested in anyone singing songs. Every time Yun Meijun appears, the old man is anxious. Therefore, every time I scraped together enough money, the old man came as soon as possible. ”
"Mr. Grimace is tasteful, which is really rare. Qin Xiao understood the choice of grimace. Many people have seen a certain height, and since then they would rather lack than abuse, and will not settle again. This attitude towards life, even with a certain cleanliness, deserves respect.
Grimace smiled at Qin Xiao and smiled kindly.
The host on stage is ready to auction today's tunes. The so-called auction means that the auctioneer has the privilege of sitting on the stage to watch the top song up close. After the song, you can also have dinner with the top brand. If the top brand is willing to sing a song for the winner alone, it is not impossible.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's spirit was shocked.
Here it comes!
Seven or eight men rushed in. The first person had a white face and beard, medium stature, and wore a gray robe, which was consistent with the Bing Ye described by Zhu San. However, this time he was not alone, and he was followed by seven brothers.
Bing Ye looked around, and immediately walked towards the few empty seats in the fifth row with the few people behind.
The position was not enough, and the two younger brothers stood behind a few people.
"Everyone!" an indifferent old man tapped his hammer, "Today's on-demand listening is the beginning. Today's top brand Yun Meijun. The starting price is 500 taels of gold! Each increase in price is not less than 100 taels of gold!"
"It's officially getting started!"
The old man slammed his hammer down.
After a faint commotion in the hall, it quickly calmed down. As the old man's hammer fell, everyone immediately sat upright, staring at the old man on the stage solemnly, pondering the price they could spend.
"Six hundred taels!" a beautiful boy smiled and raised his hand and shouted.
"A thousand taels!" cried a fat man with whirring meat. This fat man Qin Xiao knows, called Fat Qiang. He was the first pig killer in the imperial capital. He monopolized the pork in the entire imperial capital vegetable market. It is said that his own uncle worked as an errand in the palace.
Mei Gongzi glared at the fat man hatefully, and muttered through gritted teeth.
"Two thousand taels!" a middle-aged man in brocade raised his hand.
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
......
Qin Xiao smacked his tongue secretly. There are so many rich people in the imperial capital!
In such a place, this kind of consumption is not dared by the sons of ordinary officials. Du Erkang, Pan Sanwei, Guhong Gujing brothers...... Even Luo Bo, the son of the Marquis of Blood, and Zhao Kuangtian, the son of the King of Light, did not dare to enter at will. If you participate in the auction, it is difficult to have such financial support. If you don't participate, you will inevitably lose face and lose your identity.
"Eight thousand taels!"
"Our Tianlong Gang will give 10,000 taels!" a young man in black stood up and shouted.
Well?
Everyone in the four corners looked at the young man from the Tianlong Gang.
Why do you dare to show off the Tianlong Gang here? You clearly want to keep the auction price at 10,000 taels.
If anyone raises the price again, is it the enemy of the Tianlong Gang?
The Tianlong Gang is indeed awesome, and everyone knows it. However, it hasn't been to that extent, has it?
The old man on the stage hesitated slightly. His eyes swept over the Celestial Dragon Gang and stared at the young man.
A murderous aura wafted from nowhere, slowly enveloping the entire hall.
Seeing this, the Bing Ye immediately slapped the young man fiercely.
Plop!
The young man flew up, fell over several seats in succession, and fell down the aisle with a clatter. Presumably two broken bones.
The young man got up, pressed the broken bone with one hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the other, and silently went to his original position.
The old man was about to speak, when a gloomy voice sounded: "The Tianlong Gang is so powerful! The old man is very afraid! Maybe he won't see the sun tomorrow." However, the old man has lived for so many years, and he is by no means afraid of big drops...... The old man dared to bid 10,000 taels and 100 taels. I hope that the heroes of the Tianlong Gang don't care!"
Qin Xiao followed the prestige, and a short old man in black sat in a corner. The people in the front and back of the corner were tall, and the old man was almost submerged in the crowd.
However, the old man's voice resounded indiscriminately in every corner. The entire hall, everywhere, whether it was the old man's side or the hall door farthest away from the old man, the voice sounded of average size.
What a lot of control!
Qin Xiao sighed secretly. Single-handedly, the old man said that it was also a five- or six-fold cultivation in the Earth Martial Realm. It should be about the same as Qin Cangyu of the Qin family, and slightly higher than the current old man. Qin Xiao was sure that if the old man wanted to make this step at the moment, he would probably be out of breath for a long time. And this old man, with a steady breath and a neutral voice, sounds like he is chatting!
Bingye's face did not change, and he was still cold and unresponsive. A face is like a thousand years of ice, or he has lived in a haze since he was a child, and has never seen the sun.
The old man's words are just to understand the face of the Tianlong Gang. The key is to bid 10,000 and 100 taels. This is clearly a way to get along with the Tianlong Gang!
The young man of the Tianlong Gang said the wrong thing and was beaten up. At the moment, he is covering his face and is in pain. Quite a few people looked at him gloatingly. Can you talk like this on this occasion? At first glance, he is a chick, and he has never seen the world. However, this guy isn't really all gibberish. In the entire imperial capital, is there a more powerful gang than the Tianlong Gang?
Although the Tianlong Gang is an underground organization, it is generally not valued by people on the surface. But his strength is indeed obvious to all. In the entire imperial capital, there are very few forces that resist the Tianlong Gang. Not to mention that the masters of the Tianlong Gang are like clouds, the 20,000 brothers of the Tianlong Gang alone have already infiltrated all corners of the imperial capital.
But...... Who is this old man? Blatantly involved with the Tianlong Gang?
What kind of power does the old man represent?
Seeing the contradiction between the two families, the hall fell silent for a while. No one wants to get involved in the dispute between the two companies.
The host glared at the Tianlong Gang, raised the hammer, and dropped the first hammer heavily: "Ten thousand and one hundred taels for the first time." ”
No one responded.
Everyone looked at the Tianlong Gang, and there was disdain in their eyes. Tsk, the old man alone stopped you? You actually endured such a slap in the face? You can bear it so much, you can be a turtle with a shrunken head, why don't you participate in the auction?
Bing Ye is as immobile as a mountain. When the host's second hammer was raised and was about to be knocked down, Bing Ye whispered to a young man beside him. The young man immediately stood up excitedly: "Fifteen thousand taels!"
Wow!
There was a small commotion in the hall! Fifteen thousand taels? So much at one time? The Tianlong Gang is determined to win!
Everyone looked at the Tianlong Gang again, and their eyes gradually changed.
That's right!
Mighty! Domineering!
"Fifteen thousand and one hundred taels. The old man's voice sounded flat again, resounding in every corner, just like just now, and there was no wave in the ancient well.
The moderator put down the hammer and frowned slightly.
Bing Ye said to the young man again.
"Twenty thousand taels!" shouted the young man. Young people have never seen so much money in their lives. I didn't expect the deputy gang leader to offer such a high price just to listen to the song! I didn't expect that the deputy gang leader let himself shout this amount! His blood was boiling, his muscles trembled, his pupils dilated, and his voice trembled slightly!
Everyone in the hall who originally wanted to participate for a while all broke off their thoughts. If this trend continues, who can afford it? That is, for a song, even if it is a song of Tingxiang Xiaoxie's top brand, even if it is a song of Yun Meijun...... It's too, it's too much of a loser, isn't it?
It's just a qualification to listen to music on stage, and a qualification to have dinner with Yun Meijun...... Is it worth the fight?
